I don't recall Apple taking a credit card number for my "reservation". All it said was if I don't pick up the phone by EOB on Thursday that the reservation would be cancelled. So I'm thinking of getting to the mall that has the Apple store right at 6am (mall open time) and trying to get the phone. If they have a ridiculous line or I can't get it, I'll just have to go back and get the reservation after noon, which will add a significant amount of money to park for the day, as I need to ship my second phone across state for the next day.
